Whoo hoo! Arrrrr, matey! (I speak Pirate, not Australian, but I assume the two are pretty close.)
As Vizzini said in The Princess Bride, “Iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals.” Since pirates are criminals, of course Pirate and Australian are very close languages.
Arrrrr, me hearty.
You’ve obviously spent quite a bit of time in Australia. You’ve got the accent to prove it.
17/20, and +1 to the jack-shittery.
Damn missed this one
More Australians are killed by this animal than any other
a. Saltwater Crocodile
b. Clock Spider
c. Drop Bear
d. Tasmanian Devil
e. Chiggers
It’s in the back of the ute ya’ drongo, sitting on top of the slab.
While yer’ there, chuck’us a stubbie willya?
VB or 4X?
I missed 3 out of 20. Now where do I need to quese up to get my Vegemite and V-8 Interceptor?
The funny thing is, though, I probably have family in Australia already—one of my ancestors on my mother’s side was leaving Ireland near the turn of the 20th century, intending to join up with her mother and sisters who’d already gone, but the ship heading to Australia was full. So she booked passage on the steamer going to New York instead (Evidently, either she couldn’t stick around, or she was simply very practical and impressively unchoosy).
She met her future husband on the ride over, IIRC.
18 of 20.
I must tell my Aussie coworker.
18/20. Do I get a choice of Koala or Kangaroo? If so-I’d like the Koala please.
That’s interesting and perhaps not as widely knownas it should be.
I don’t have any Australian in me but I’d like some:p
I hadn’t come across that sketch before. It’s highly libellous, but very funny.
Yeah… two questions in, I didn’t know what Anzacs day celebrates, and didn’t know the colors of the Aboriginal flag. Funk dat.
Joe
This is a question that never need be asked. A true Australian would know based upon the location.
In fact asking that question in Queensland may get you beaten up!
[Psst for next time it is XXXX, never call it 4X. If we could read up here in Queensland and saw it written like that we’d probably beat you up for it ]
Carlton’s thanks. XXXX is shite.
Well I guess I am ready to sail for Botany Bay (unless a criminal record is still a requirement :p).
Carlton I can drink, much prefer XXXX (Gold actually). But how anyone in their right mind can drink VB escapes me. That is truely terrible beer almost as bad as Fosters.
Why do Queenslanders spell it XXXX?
because they can’t spell beer
Sorry it’s only Coopers in the Eski for me.
